I just don't understand it
, I have two P5B Deluxe motherboards, both have the JMicron thing and both are running and have been running Ubuntu 6.10 folding in Linux SMP for quite some time (24/7 for at least a 2 months). I noticed with only one IDE connector (P5B Deluxe) I had to add a SATA HD and I never did get 6.04 to install (even with a Conical factory disk) I don't know "jack" about wireless stuff, but I know after editing my resolv.conf file (I have Qwest DSL) I just hooked up my router and it connected to the Internet like a charm. As far as I'm concerned, for the beginner, Ubuntu any flavor, is the best distro for them
(just remember after 6.04 to install the 32 bit libs to use the Linux SMP client) Go to
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
(there seems to be a page for 6.04 and 6.10) use their sources listings, install the "browse as root" tip and Ubuntu is almost like Windows in the "point and click" category. (still lacking in games though
) I go to the login window and have it automatically boot up with no sign in (I'm lazy
)
Edit: I just noticed the post above me and I feel the persons pain. I was going to be shrewd and use the USB connection on my Actiontec modem to keep from getting a more than four point router. Not good, I couldn't for the life of me get my PD 805 to recognize the DSL connection in Ubuntu
, so... I have one machine folding with the WinSMP client and is it slow... (I've read where the WinSMP client is slower than the Linux SMP client, this reading was done in our very own Team 32 folding forum) When I first tried the WinSMP client I didn't think it was that much different in folding speed, but I've since rethought that statement
